Bookies Sweat On White Christmas Million Pound Snowflake: 2038 Bets Placed In 24hrs!

Bookies William Hill are facing a possible seven figures payout if one flake of snow falls, in all the cities they are betting on, over the 24 hour period of Christmas day. Aberdeen is the favourite at 11/4, Newcastle cut from 6/1 to 3/1, whilst London is 11/2 from 6/1. 30th November 2010 will go down as the busiest day of white Christmas betting with Hills accepting 2038 bets on the day. Hills are even offering 7/4 that any Premiership game is off this weekend!

"Last years snow and the big freeze has sparked a fantastic gamble on Xmas snow and this could cost the industry millions," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.

Good odds for those cities up north. I might have a few ££ on these.

Bookies William Hill are sweating on what will be the biggest ever White Christmas payout should the predicted snow appear on Christmas Day.

"We have taken a record number of White Christmas bets this year and the latest forecast suggests that there is a real chance that the infamous industry million-pound payout will happen for the first time," said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

It could also be a long, cold winter for bookmakers who have slashed the price of the record coldest temperature in the UK (-27.2 C January 10 1982, Aberdeenshire) from an original 25/1 to 3/1 with bets of up to £800 placed in the last 10 days!
